Seismic shaking and tectonic deformation during strong earthquakes can trigger widespread
environmental effects. The severity and extent of a given effect relates to the characteristics …

Slope is susceptible to rainfall-induced failure after being damaged by earthquake. In this
study, the seepage and deformation of unsaturated slope during post-earthquake rainfall …

In the northwest section of the lesser Khingan range, located in the high-latitude permafrost
region of northeast China, landslides are a frequent occurrence, due to permafrost melting …

The impact of natural disasters has been increasing in recent years. Despite the developing
international interest in multihazard events, few studies quantify the dynamic interactions …

The information and seismic parameters gained from pre-instrumental earthquakes are
essential to improve the seismic catalogs and hazard studies. The earthquake damage (ED) …

The large, shallow earthquakes at Northridge, California (1994), Chi-Chi, Taiwan (1999),
and Wenchuan, China (2008), each triggered thousands of landslides. We have determined …

This paper examines the salient characteristics of near-source strong ground motions
recorded from the 13 June 2011 M w 6.0 Christchurch, New Zealand earthquake. 26 strong …

Earth science information (data, knowledge, advice) can enhance the evidence base for
land-use decision-making. The utility of this information depends on factors including the …

Cracks at the crest of slopes frequently occur during earthquakes. Such cracks result from
limited tension strength of the soil. A tension cut-off in Mohr-Coulomb shear strength can …

This paper outlines a coseismic landslide forecast tool that produces advisory information for
emergency managers after a significant earthquake, in near-real time. The tool provides …
